Homecoming!
The past weekend was my 5 year anniversary for homecoming. There were a lot of us going back from our year. Friday started with almost a 5 hour drive back…the drive normally takes 2.5 hours, but traffic was brutal, even just getting outta the city. When we finally arrived, we did the standard bar visits and ran into a lot of people we hadn’t seen in years. But it was funny that the majority of people we saw there were people that are now living in the same city as us. Do we really have to return to our university town to see the people that live in the same city as us now? One guy i haven’t seen in 3 years actually lives about 2 blocks away from me. Bif Naked was playing a concert at one of the campus bars, so we stayed there and watched the show. She rocks. Pretty kickass show.
Saturday morning was a bit rough to get going. A trip around campus to see what has changed. Sidewalk sale, etc. So much construction! I can’t believe all the new buildings that are going up. New residences to deal with all the new students, new department buildings, new everything. It’s a good time to be in the construction business there. After that, it was off to a warmup keg party prior to the football game. The most of the football game was spent in the beer area. We sat in the bleachers for about 5 minutes and we even got to do the alumni march around the track. And of course, our team won 62-10. Blowout.
Saturday evening started by us showing up a half hour late for our buffet dinner. We showed up to tiny amounts of remaining food and no seats for us to sit at. Oh well, eat what we can, sit where we could. Thanks to the people who got up to give us their seats. After that, off to a keg party. We were the only alumni there. Then off to the other campus bars for the evening. And the night had to end with a trip for some after hours poutine & pizza.
Sunday was a relaxing day. Wandered around campus, did some shopping and drove home. The end.
